Which used Kia Optima estate should I buy?

Unless your usage favours the plug-in hybrid, with shorter journeys that make the most of the electric charge, we’d probably steer clear of this model and go for the regular diesel version. This manages good real-world economy with adequate performance and refinement.

We’d also try to seek out the 2 trim – unless you happened across a 3 that was particularly well priced – because it has all you could reasonably want.
